THE 2025 AFTA Tackle Show presented by Let’s Fish Australia, is scheduled from July 24th to 26th at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre. The event is organised by the Australian Fishing Trade Association (AFTA).
This year’s show will feature a record-breaking number of exhibitors, showcasing every facet of Australia’s vibrant recreational fishing industry.
The event is divided into two trade-only days, followed by a public day where attendees can preview the latest products without any obligation to purchase. The public day is sure to draw attention, with appearances from popular social media influencers and TV personalities from the fishing world. The Let’s Fish Australia Stage will also offer forums featuring industry notables, creating opportunities for engaging one-on-one interactions.
Exhibitors are putting together an exciting lineup for the public day, including product demonstrations, competitions, and giveaways that will keep visitors entertained throughout the event.
“AFTA exhibitors have a fantastic chance to connect with young anglers and tap into their passion for fishing during the public day,” said AFTA president Michael Starkey.
“It’s always fascinating to learn which new products generate the most enthusiasm and to hear inspiring fishing stories and feedback on existing products.”
Thanks to the Queensland Government’s support, the Public Day will remain free for visitors. Those interested can register for complimentary tickets through the AFTA website.
Additionally, visitors can participate in Best In Show Voting for the People’s Choice Awards during the public day.
Across many categories in fishing tackle rods, reels and accessories, attendees will have the chance to cast their votes and potentially win a prize.
